After counting the votes for our Profile Picture contest we had a tie. For the first time in years, two photos had an even number of votes:

This one: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TinaSashWalker/posts/KCNmnniYMNb at 14.

And this one: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MikeValknWing/posts/CsWNucdb8JQ also at 14.

Since the moderation staff couldn't decide which photo was better, I had no choice but to default to section 6 of the contest rules:

6] Ties will be decided by the moderation staff and if we can't decide, well, I'll use a picture of my feet. Yes, I have pictures of my feet.

You're welcome.

Short of pulling my picture, I happily and without remorse abdicate my tie to Sash Walker​ in the interest of good community relations and the sincere hope that I don't ever have to see the feet that belong to the individual pictured here. May god have mercy on us all 😅

It is kind of a shame that the total number of votes for the 2 pics represent only about 2.5% of the number of members here. Hope everyone is too busy riding?

Agreed Mike ValknWing​! It seems like less and less people participate in most of the conversation here.

I think less people are using G+. Hopefully with the northern hemisphere warming up we'll see some more action in this Community.

I know I've been pretty dormant just because of the season... But hey.. Nothing like a sweet feet pic to get me running back.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
